    PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (WTAE) -- Pittsburgh's North Shore was a busy place to be ahead of Sunday night football and Oktoberfest.

โ€œI love seeing all the people out. Weโ€™ve got people from in town, people from out of town; itโ€™s just a great, beautiful day in the neighborhood,โ€ Matt Needles said.

Sherree Reisker went to the 6th Street Bridge for the festival, but she said she stayed for a ride on the 60-foot Ferris wheel.

โ€œIโ€™m here to ride the Ferris wheel with my two best friends,โ€ Reisker said. โ€œBeing up that high on this bridge, youโ€™ll never get that chance again.โ€

Meanwhile, the 2024 Head of the Ohio rowing race drew visitors from Canada to the Midwest.

On the North Shore, Steelers tailgating was a full-day commitment for many fans, including Eddie Steelers Gonzalez. Yes, โ€œSteelersโ€ is his middle name. He traveled from El Paso, Texas, to see his team play.

โ€œIn 2011, I went ahead and became a U.S. citizen, and since Iโ€™m a diehard Steelers fan, I went ahead and added โ€˜Steelersโ€™ to my middle name, and everyone knows me as โ€˜Steelersโ€™ from social media,โ€ Gonzalez said.

Pittsburghโ€™s Oktoberfest runs through Oct. 13.
